Firewood scavenger today after following around @Monkeybusiness lads, not that I really need any more , already got about 40ton stacked up dry in the shed View attachment 54274

Never have too much, unless it catches fire

 

[DaveDCB]

Did you here me say that im running out?

If your over this way give me a call I’m sure we can come to some arrangement

 

[Furniss]

Yep swap it between 3t and 8t all the time, just have to get a second mounting kit, that way you can have all the cables permanently in place and tidy, only minutes to change between machines.

I must be a grumpy git !! - I can never be arsed to swop it between machines, trying to get the cables tidy and fag lighter plug not getting kicked , tbh I thought id already spent enough on it all without investing in another cradle etc.
So It lives in the 6t now, got it quite factory and fooked off those terrible suction cups.
Its handy no doubt but for me its not game changing like the tilty.

Well that was a bloody wet day ....going to pretend it was Friday take the mrs out tomorrow, see what next week brings.

What did you use to get rid of the suction cups ?
I noticed the one holding the monitor on mine slips on its own

those 3M pads're sticky little sods, ain't they

 

[V8Druid]

Eh?

dirt?

 

[Thomas7740]

dirt?

It’s getting 200mm pre stressed slabs so can fill it with anything. Maximum amount of stone allowed below a poured floor is 600mm, anything more than that has to be slabbed. As long as the void is filled BC don’t care what is used

Will that 3M VHB pads stick to anything ? Is that how you have your monitor mounted ?

Yes no probs so far, I have the monitor on a short stalk, not only for snugness but so the weight is less likely to overcome the arm mechanism.

@Nasco do perspex mounts with 3M tape, i spent a small fortune on Ram mount bits and managed to mount the Rototilt panel as well and still be able to open the window.

I need to look at doing something like this . It really gets jerked about in the hitachi . My glass doesn’t open that side so the Perspex thing might be an option . What’s the second screen mount ? How are those ram mounts for the screens attached ?

I fixed a second ram ball mount to the cradle with small countersuit screws and another to the window frame so it's triangulated. Lots of trial and error involved to position every thing , clear opening front window, movement of blade lever ext ext. Will try and get better pics. Tomorrow. Did the same in the TB280fr. Much easier as more space and no Rototilt screen to contend with.

If anyone is selling a basic 2nd hand idig let me know, Could be interested…

It’s getting to the point where by excavator manufacturers are going to need to allow built in mounting points for rails to properly fix screens onto, just like in tractors.
